Never mind. I dug a little deeper and found out my wife needs to be a citizen first. She's not going to be happy to hear that.

I think this is not true. Especially for my country. However, I don't know how this issue is with the embassy in Peru. In most cases the applicants has to support their claim that they will return home after a temporary visit to the United States (such as proof of ownership of property, bank statements, proof of employment, proof of family ties, etc.). If they can not prove this, the visa will be denied. Embassies are different. Check with the Peru embassy's website about visitor/tourist visa.
